Since my early teens, I’ve been heavily involved in the underground music scene — starting off with booking shows on Frenchmen St. in the mid ‘90s (before it was the place locals tell tourists they hang out even though they don’t ever actually go there except to eat at Adolfo’s or for costume watching on Mardi Gras and Halloween) and touring with local and traveling bands that I’ve helped along the way, designing flyers, t-shirts and albums and writing and art directing a local music and culture magazine. The music scene is way more of my comfort zone than the basketball community.
